In the Junior A competition it is only second teams remaining. Can a senior clubs second team get promoted to Intermediate? I heard that this rule was changed and you can't have two teams within a division of each other. (ie if you have a senior team you can't get promoted to intermediate) If so there will be no promotion from Junior A to Intermediate this year. Open to corrections on this. gowayboy (Galway) - Posts: 37 - 26/09/2024 14:19:05 2571963 Link

Second teams can be promoted to Intermediate. There are already a number of second teams up there, Turloughmore, Clarinbridge and Craughwell. Due to our Senior B no man's land division, these teams aren't in a division next to their first team's in any case. WanPintWin (Galway) - Posts: 2187 - 26/09/2024 14:38:08 2571969 Link

Good win for St Thomas's over Craughwell. Fairly close until the second half when Thomas's pulled away. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2260 - 28/09/2024 15:28:56 2572203 Link
Great quarter final draw. Turloughmore on form should be favourites to get rid of Thomas' and the way Turlough are hurling I can't see them losing this one. Too much pace in their team and the young lads like Trayers and Cillian Whelan are going well. Clarinbridge Larkins is a real 50:50 game, especially if Aaron is still out for Clarinbridge. I'd expect Sarsfields and Loughrea to come through the other two games. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 793 - 28/09/2024 15:52:22 2572205 Link

Cappy will give sarsfields plenty of it! The Bridge will take Larkins Cashel v Loughrea will be close Turlough must hate playing Thomas' they can rarely get the better of them! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2475 - 28/09/2024 20:12:37 2572244 Link

Still not 100% sure on Killimor yet because they were useless v Craughwell!! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2475 - 28/09/2024 20:14:55 2572245 Link

I agree with most of what you said but I think Loughrea will destroy Cashel. Won't be close. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2260 - 28/09/2024 23:28:52 2572291 Link
As per usual it's a double header both days in Athenry next weekend. Bridge against Larkins and Sarsfields-Cappy on Saturday followed by Loughrea Cashel and Thomas' against Turlough on Sunday. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 793 - 29/09/2024 11:15:44 2572328 Link
Replying To Trump2020: "I agree with most of what you said but I think Loughrea will destroy Cashel. Won't be close." It's great to have the mickey mouse pointless Preliminary Quarter Finals out of the way......these are proper Championship Quarter Finals in Senior. As for Intermediate it's the Semi Final Draw I'm looking forward too because they will be two cracking games! Just on the Loughrea v Castlegar QF....I don't think Loughrea will destroy Cashel, I reckon like Cappy v sarsfields game Cashel will give Loughrea plenty of it and it could be tighter than most expect! katser (Galway) - Posts: 2475 - 29/09/2024 13:37:32 2572343 Link

Nothing against Cashel but Loughrea (like Bridge) have been knocking on the door and it's time for them to get over the hump. I hope it's a close one but I can't see it. I think Thomas's will finally shake off the rust and get their business done against Turlough. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2260 - 29/09/2024 15:32:43 2572357 Link

Killimor are poor this year, alot of guys from the 2022 win have either emigrated or given it up, alot of youth on their side now they arnt the same animal they were, were trailing craughwell by 4 at ht the other night and only won by one, carnmore are dark horses this year they look to have their stuff in order, keep an eye on turlough eyrecourt, young McDermott did the acl who will be a big loss to them, ballygar and eyrecourt drew in the group stages and turlough bet ballygar handily in the end a shock could be in store!

Great weekend in store in Athenry. Four great quarter finals. Clarinbridge Larkins is hard to call but I'd just about give a marginal edge to the bridge. Better free taker and an advantage on the sideline. Shane Ryan back will be a big help to them as well. Hopefully Aaron Niland is back for this one. Really fancy Turlough to beat Thomas' by three or four points. Can't believe they aren't favourites to win the game. Turlough have great pace all over the field and a much stronger bench. Matchups look more favourable for them as well - Daithi on Conor Cooney and Dan Loftus on Eanna Burke. Don't see who picks up Sean O'Hanlon and Fintan doesn't have the pace for Sean Loftus if the ball going in is right. Bit of a danger game for Sarsfields against Cappy if Joseph is a bit rusty in his first game back. Cappy have a dangerous forward line but at the other end Kevin Cooney should rack up enough to get them through. Can't see Cashel beating Loughrea with how slick Loughrea looked against Clarinbridge. Still injured lads coming back for Loughrea as well in Dylan Shaughnessy, Paul Huban and possibly even Jamie Ryan. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 793 - 03/10/2024 13:51:35 2572901 Link

Bridge will probably win and I have no clue about the Sarsfields match. I'll flip a coin I suppose. Trump2020 (Galway) - Posts: 2260 - 03/10/2024 18:28:27 2572948 Link

In the relegation Finals all classic East v South games.....you'd probably expect a comfortable clean sweep for South Galway!

Wouldn't it be perfect 6 team acca 30/1 Tynagh/Abbey-Duniry, Meelick-Eyrecourt, Killimor,Ahascragh-Fohenagh ,Mullagh and Cappataggle all to win! There are atleast 2 chokers if not 3 in that group.....hopefully the "bottlers" won't "bottle " it. katser (Galway) - Posts: 2475 - 04/10/2024 15:23:03 2573056 Link

I think Turlough win fairly comfortably but the beauty is we get to find out on Sunday. galway19 (Galway) - Posts: 793 - 04/10/2024 15:39:06 2573058 Link

You certainly didn't seem to know sh from shinola when 'predicting' losers/'bottlers' at the recent Euro soccer championship ko phase. Perhaps you're more in tune with Galway hurling/'bottler' syndrome? Pope_Benedict (Galway)** - Posts: 3875 - 04/10/2024 15:43:23 2573060 Link
